Two repairs can often cost as much as a new unit, and manufacturer warranties can be a headache to use.

I think smaller markets say sub 50k population would have a larger impact from one big move from a manufacturing facility or something like a Amazon processing center.

We love manufactured housing and want to buy more How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Manufactured homes are in a different classification than a modular. 

Google maps shows quite a few "Manufactured Home Communities".

Also, are you trying to avoid one with an ice maker--potential here for additional maintenance if any issues arise.I've had Whirlpool, Samsung, Frigidaire in properties without any issues.Make sure you're aware of what the manufacturer warranty covers things such as parts, labor, and compressor.  

There's also a good amount of manufacturing hubs here.

I was wondering if a manufactured home would be an economical and profitable solution. 

For example, I started investing in Buffalo (NY) a few years ago because I liked the stable population statistic along with the fact that a big chunk of the population is in the healthcare industry... along with major car manufacturers having plants or some sort of manufacturing factory there (Tesla, GM, etc.) 

I have noticed a lot of investors are seeking out cities that are offering lower priced lots and simply adding a Modular or Manufactured and capturing a very nice cash flow.There is a new trend starting in Florida and in other states where an investor buys a piece of land or lot and add a 'Tiny Home".
